Jokeiji 浄慶寺
This temple is quite close to Kakio Station 柿生駅 in Kawasaki. What makes this temple so awesome is the Ojizo statues that are scattered around the garden. These statues are quite common in temples but what makes them unique, is the funny and interesting sculpting. These statues also represent something significant that has or is happening to Japan. For example, the Ojizo on the laptop and on the mobile phone symbolise the youth of today being focused too much on social media. Great temple, well worth a visit.
Jyoukei-Ji Temple, located in Kawasaki City, has unique Luohan (disciples of the Buddha). They all look humorous as they act as if they were ordinary people like us. The hydrangea flowers are in full bloom on a slope at the back of the temple.
